I would recommend you try it out... err, i did as mentioned in my quote, but also, like i said in my quote, K3b gives me an error when trying to write at 8x. also "cdrecord -prcap dev=/dev/cdrom1" reports that my drive's max burning speed is 4x. but i know it is an 8x drive...and it burns at 8x in windows. even if K3b worked, it'd still like to know how to use dvdrecord so i can write scripts. thanks.
